  1. Cheers Clive! You never fail when it comes to Anglo Saxon! You say you like the coins of Anne? You aren't becoming a milled convert are you?
  2. Here is one I missed from the last post... Charles II Penny Now for the rest..... Firstly a couple of nice Victorian Florins, I have been after one of the gothic florins for ages and have finally managed to get one for a reasonable price. Victoria 1884 Gothic Florin Victoria 1887 Florin Here are a couple of early milled shillings, beautiful coins! George II 1758 Shilling William III 1697 Shilling And a couple of Hammered Shillings... James I Shilling 1604/05 Elizabeth I Shilling And now one or two older coins, medieval and Saxon. Henry VI Annulet Type Groat, 1420 to 1427 Aethelred II First Hand Type Penny im not sure who this one is, if anyone knows id love to know!
  3. Hello again, After a couple of days off work I have finally got round to photographing a large proportion of my recent purchases. So although the lighting for the photos wasn't great here are some of the photos. I have been collecting a few pieces of small denomination silver recently so il start with them. These coins are tiny, especially the pennies and it amazes me how much detail is packed into the coins. Firstly 3 small silver pennies of George III, it's interesting to see how the penny design changed during George's reign. George III 1820 Penny George III 1800 Penny George III 1766 Penny And a couple of other low denomination George III silver coins. George III 1776 Fourpence George III 1762 Threepence And now some small denomination silver of other monarchs. George II 1746 Twopence George I 1716 Penny Anne 1710 Twopence Charles II 1683 Twopence
  4. Hello! Thanks for the comments, ive got a fair few more that I need to photograph and put up. Also when I do that il take a couple more of the shortcross penny to see if you can decipher it, I can't remember a time when you havn't managed to figure it out. Anyway as I say there will be more to come shortly including a couple of nice ones.
  5. 3 more coins to show you all, a random selection.... Firstly an 1805 George III Irish halfpenny, its not something that I would normally go for but for a couple of quid I couldn't say no. Secondly a Henry VIII halfgroat, one of the later coinage hence the poor quality metal but a decent portrait for this type of coin I think. Looks like Canterbury mint. Lastly a Richard I (Lionheart) penny, again a nice little portrait but im not sure of the mint so if anyone can decipher it please let me know!
  6. Thanks Art, yes the portraits on both are very good, the reverse of the Cnut is fantastic too, very bold. Here are a couple more: A Henry VIII groat, mm Arrow And an Elizabeth I milled shilling, mm star, small flan type.
  7. A couple of new Anglo Saxon pennies to show you: A Cnut short cross penny, VCEDE ONN EOFER, which is potentially a rare moneyer but im not certain, does anyone know? An Aethelred II Crux type penny, Can anyone decipher the mint and moneyer? More to come soon
  8. Lovely coins Clive, well done on acquiring them especially that rare Aethelred.
  9. Two new additions to show you: Firstly: An early Anglo-Saxon sceatta, I havnt bought a coin of this type before so if anyone can give me some info on it I would be grateful, is it genuine, what spink number is it etc? Secondly: A nice Elizabeth I threepence with a lovely portrait.
  10. Another recent addition following the recent Elizabethan theme. An Elizabeth I second issue penny, mintmark cross crosslet dating it to between 1560 and 1561.
  11. Two Elizabethan milled sixpences, one with plain dress and one with elaborate dress, both from 1562 and with the mintmark - star. Lovely coins and much nicer in the hand than in the photos.
  12. I don't know much about US coins but even I can tell that that looks like a bargain haul of coins you got there. Well done! How much would you normally expect to pay for a morgan, or a peace dollar? Id love to add one to my collection sometime in the future.
  13. The groats are great coins, I think I like them nearly as much as you like sixpences Art! Well the hammered ones anyway. Also the fact that the groat goes back all the way to Edward I means there are a lot out there and they are very collectable. Ive seen a few go on ebay for very reasonable prices.
  14. Here are my latest bargains for your perusal, they set me back just over a tenner, not bad at all. A Victorian 1891 one penny A George II 1729 copper halfpenny, a slightly rarer type without a stop after Britannia on the reverse.
  15. 2 Charles I shillings, the first with a few cracks probably from when the coin was struck. The second with quite a nice portrait but it has unfortunately been cleaned.
